monday.

so, i realized this completely slipped my mind over the weekend, but thanks to my lovely big sister, i'm back for the week.

the weekend wasn't a huge deal anyways. i had a good time, slept a lot, babysat, made a bit of money, had my good opinion of the world at large fortified. (there really are good people left in the world. a lot of us. go to the park on a saturday. particularly the baby sand box area. count the ratio of fathers with their babies, to...anyone else with a baby. it's shocking. and adorable.)

monday. today. was alright. not the best, no overtures from strange, foreign men today. there were a couple of neat things, like: singing an impromptu solo in front of fifty people, having the speech team coach make fun of my weird looking asian lunch--(oh, did i mention? i drove to the asian market, yes, I drove. and picked up a lifetime supply of steamed buns. actually, i think i mentioned this in pretty much the exact wording last post. it's late, i'm tired. give me a break.)(plus, this is a good indication of what an impact that event has had on me. big deal, people.)

one thing i will say before i go crash in my depressingly dirty and havoc-ed bed/room, i determined to be cute and dressy today. so i wore my highest little black heals (LOVE those things. when they die, i will cry. and i'm quite prepared to spend mega bucks* to get as close as possible to those beauties again... they are...by far the best pair of heals i have ever experienced. and i think i was either given them, or stumbled upon them..in anycase, i never paid for them, and have ne'er seen shoes like this for sale..ANYWAYS) i wore my heals, and my skinny black jeans, and my new, lava flavored, French-painter-smock/anime-school-girl-collar/little, bunchy-thing-at-the-collar blouse. which, mom insisted was cute and "me" and i still don't have the guts to wear in public. so i kept my coat on almost the entire time.

my awesome coat.

i'll post pictures someday. it's quite the best thing i've bought in a very long while. and that i did buy. but my bestie had to pay for at least half of it. i think more than half actually... i'm such a hippie... but i'm glad she convinced me to buy it.

anyways! so i was wearing my heals all day. and i did feel cute, but with my backpack which weighs as much as me (thanks to the freakin' $100 chemistry textbook!) i think i did my knees in. at the time it didn't hurt cuz, a) the Shoes are extremely comfortable and never cause my feet pain, and b) the intense, chronic pain my wee shoulders endure while wearing that backpack? pretty much tuned out any faint, suggestions on the part of my common sense that i was being a bit ridiculous to my knees.

bear in mind i have class from 8am-4:10pm. and i was smart enough to schedule things so that i have to walk, completely, across, campus, at least three times a day. it's.. fun.

well, 12:12. good time to say good night.

have a sweet dream,

until tomorrow.

i promise.
